TradePower's Digital Marketplace

The TradePower digital marketplace enables real-time transactions between suppliers and contractors, empowering users to research, request and purchase construction materials through their medium of choice - the desktop or the Web. Unlike existing construction industry exchanges that target owners, architects and general contractors, TradePower is focused on the supplier and contractor relationship, where the majority of construction industry transactions occur.

TradePower's marketplace connects contractors and suppliers through a neutral, centralized and integrated environment that enhances information exchange and simplifies the purchase and sale of construction supplies. The exchange gives contractors the ability to improve business operations by reducing overhead costs and minimizing fulfillment errors. Suppliers benefit from the TradePower digital marketplace by expanding their sales channels and improving the efficiencies of their supply chains.
